Chapters (20)
"No, I'm just going home," I say looking away from them both, as I remember Jaxson and his brother talking. I should stay away, no matter what I feel for Jaxson. I can't be around him knowing that they think I’m someone I’m not. Jaxson stares at me and me at him. We don’t talk as he opens his mouth a few times to speak but no one voices any words. I turn and leave my heart breaking as I know I have to leave him. He won’t be happy with me around and he can’t be with me. I don’t want to hurt Esta, it’s different for her and at the end of the day I’m just a human.
"Wait, Winter." Jaxson shouts as I get into my car. Not wanting to talk, I lift my eyes to see his as he runs over to me. I start my car and drive off. The tears fall, as my heart breaks, the thought that one kiss will never be enough runs through my mind. I try to stop it; I have to remember that he isn't mine. Jaxson will never be.
Chapter Sixteen
"Where is she?" A man cries, making me flinch as I open my eyes to the chaos before me. Elissa is in the tight grip of a brown-haired man; he is tall and built like a guy that loves the gym. They are both wearing the strange clothing from all the dreams but he has a crown on his head. The crown is the matching one to the one Elissa wears but it’s a dark blue colour. I can’t see his face from where I am, but it’s clear he is older than me. It's the same bedroom as before but everything is ruined, smoke fills the room from the empty archways. The sounds of screams fill the air as I glance back at the large man. He is covered in blood and shaking Elissa, who looks defeated but not scared.
"You’ll never find her, she is safe from you. The prophecy will come true because of you." She smiles gently at him.
It can't be the same one Jaxson was talking about, what the hell? These can't be real.
The man growls loudly, as the sound fills the room, so does the smoke from the empty archways. I spot a wolf running past in the corridor, covered in blood.
"She is my child, mine! You are my queen and my mate but I will kill you if you don't give her back to me." He shouts into her face. Elissa is far braver than I ever thought, as she doesn’t back down, in fact, his words make her face harden.
"I have seen it all, you would kill her and me regardless. I will save my child." She whispers as the man lifts the large sword at his side.
